    I have a simple form called frmPanelUpdate with a label on it called lblPanel.
    I would like to be able to have this form pop up and let the user know which panel is updating while the program is running.
    The problem is that when the form pops up the program stops.
    How can I get the program to keep running while the form is showing?

    Private Sub InsertPanel()
    'tried to use DoEvents here (didn't work)
    frmPanelUpdate.lblPanel = "Updating panel " & PanelName & "."
    frmPanelUpdate.show
    'run the rest of the program which takes about 10 to 20 seconds
    frmPanelUpdate.hide
    End Sub
